Installing your FDTV1a 

antenna

Find the best location for the Antenna

Before you connect the antenna, determine the best 

spot in your home for optimum reception. Visit  

www.antennaweb.org to see where your local 

broadcasts are coming from. Then, try as much 

as possible to avoid obstructions between these 
transmitters and your antenna.

Positioning the Antenna

Once you’ve found the best place to set up your 

antenna, you have three options for placing it—you 

can lay it flat, hang it on the wall, or stand it upright. 
The antenna is designed to perform equally well in all 

three positions. For most settings, the recommended 

position is lying flat, attached to the included stand. 

However, the best position for your antenna may vary 

depending on your location and setting. Television 

signal waves bounce off of objects, causing signal 

reflections that might cause the antenna to perform 

better in one location or orientation over others. Test 

the antenna in the different positions before putting it 

in its permanent position.

Please Note: Do not place your FDTV1a near large 
metal objects or appliances that could create 
interference.
